Now, the Warriors will face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round of the playoffs.
00:06
Of course, the T-Wolves knocked out the Lakers.
00:09
They will play game one tomorrow night.
00:11
There's your series.
00:12
Minnesota's favorite, minus 178.
00:15
Warriors plus a buck 50 for the series.
00:19
The early numbers for that game one, by the way, are minus seven for the T-Wolves tomorrow night.
00:27
Minus seven.
00:28
This is the first time in the Steve Kerr era that the Warriors are dogs in a series.
00:36
They have been favored in every series since Kerr has been there until this one.
00:42
First time.
00:43
Well, you know, I got to be honest.
00:44
I agree with it.
00:45
I think the T-Wolves are a better, deeper team.
00:49
I do, without a doubt.
00:51
I like them in every facet of this series.
00:55
And I'll tell you why.
00:56
Because, you know, I don't deny Green defensively or half offensively.
01:06
I'll give him half.
01:07
He's half the player that, you know, he used to be scoring.
01:12
I thought he was, you know, decent last night with 16.
01:15
But this team to me is about Butler and Curry.
01:19
And they need heel to score.
01:22
He can't have zero-point games.
01:24
And I do not believe for one second in Kaminga he's been a disaster.
01:29
Post had no points yesterday.
01:32
Moody had no points.
01:34
Looney had three points.
01:36
These guys are bums compared to that roster on Minnesota.
01:41
Don't get me started on how much better they are.
01:45
They're deeper, they're better, and all of these guys score.
01:48
I mean, McDaniels, it goes on and on.
01:51
Nas Reed, it goes on and on.
01:53
No one on that team will be able to.
01:56
Now, I'm sure they'll say, Draymond Green, no one's stopping Edwards from doing whatever he wants.
02:01
And while you're worried about him, you better be worried about these other guys because they'll pour it in too.
02:06
So, not only will they pour it in, they'll dunk it in.
02:09
So, I just think they're flat-out better than the Warriors.
02:11
I think the Warriors had a great win over the Rockets.
02:14
And my guess is it'll end here.
02:19
I think the Timberwolves are going to beat them also.
02:22
But I also don't think that the Warriors are going to get rolled like the Lakers did by them.
02:27
I mean, the Lakers got rolled at the end of the day by Minnesota in five games.
02:32
I think the Warriors are better than the Lakers.
02:33
I think the Warriors are in this for some distance.
02:37
I think there's going to be six, maybe even seven games here it's going to take.
02:41
But Minnesota beats them.
02:42
But I think it's going to take a little while.
02:44
I think the Warriors will be in it.
02:46
I'm down with that.
02:47
Like, I just want to see it.
02:48
You know, if I have to watch them go to the conference finals and NBA finals, I'm going to puke.
02:56
I really am.
02:57
You know, I can't have it.
02:59
You know, I'm rooting for these, you know, Rogi Vachandes.
03:03
I'm on Minnesota.
03:04
I like the Pacers.
03:06
I'm on the Knicks.
03:08
I think the Knicks are going to get their ass peeled.
03:11
And whatever that other one is, I can't even think of it.
03:14
Oklahoma City.
03:15
You know, I'm on Oak City.
03:16
And the other Eastern is what is, and I'm already on the Pacers.
03:22
So, that's that.
03:24
There it is.
03:24
So, I'm on the Pacers and Knicks.
03:25
That's what I want.
03:27
Eight teams left now.
03:28
We're done with the first round.
03:29
We're on to the second round.
03:30
One of those eight will win the NBA title this year as we head into the second round.
